Multiple integrated laser engagement system market report, an analyst says currently, soldiers are being trained using laser-based technology for combat. The latest technological advancements in MILES have raised the bar, as the new versions have become much more sophisticated, which includes instant data on soldier performance.

Key players in the global MILES market: Cubic, Lockheed Martin, Saab, and Raytheon. Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: General Dynamics, ZelTech, Rheinmetall, and Inter coastal electronics.

The analysts forecast global MILES market to grow at a CAGR of 8.28% during the period 2016-2020. MILES is a set of lasers and laser sensors, which is fastened on armed personnel, weapons, and vehicles to provide realistic training environment to the soldiers. During training, when soldiers fire at their opponents, it emits laser beams instead of ammunition. If the laser successfully hits a soldier, or sensor, or an opponent vehicle, the computer considers it as lethal and a signal notifies that the target has been eliminated from the exercise.
